Another Sappy Love Movie (One Shot)

Another Sappy Love Movie

The weather was as dreary as Louis' mood. The sky was full of dark clouds that looked like they could open up any minute and let down buckets of rain with no sun in sight. The cold autumn wind had Louis curling more into his Jack Wills hoodie as he briskly made his way to Movies Galore. Louis let out a sigh of relief when he walked through the doors to the only movie rental place in his very small town of Winchester, Indiana. His ocean blue eyes took in the surrounding blue, worn out wallpaper and tattered cases to classic movies. He made his way behind the counter and pulled off his hoodie to reveal his red work shirt that had the store's name over his left breast. As he lounged in the chair behind the counter and waited for his first customer, he thought of the future when he wouldn't have to work at a movie rental store to help him make his way through college.

He was pulled out of his daydream to the sound of the bell above the door jingling, indicating someone had walked in. He sat up straighter and tried to look like he wasn't wishing to be anywhere but there. He spot a head of brown, curly hair over one of the shelves in the back and raised one of his eyebrows. 'Guy must be tall', he thought. Louis zoned out again as he waited for the guy to find the movie he wanted, only coming back to the real world when he realized someone was standing in front of him.

Louis quickly lept from his seat and set up the computer and scanner before turning to the customer, having to crane his head up a little to look at the man that was half a head taller than himself. The first thing Louis noticed was green. Very, very green. It took Louis a moment to realize he was looking into the stranger's eyes. It wasn't until the man cleared his throat before Louis realized he was staring. He felt a blush over take his cheeks and shook his head to pull him out of whatever hypnosis he was under.

"H-Hey, sorry. How can I help you today?" Louis stuttered, looking back at the computer trying hard not to make an even bigger fool of himself. When Louis looked back he saw the man giving him a smirk, showing one of his very deep dimples. Louis had the sudden urge to poke it. Before he turned that thought into a reality he shook himself and zoned into what the guy was saying.

"-ike to rent this movie." Dimples, which is Louis' new nickname for the guy, said as he handed Louis a movie. He reached out and took the movie from dimples, subtly touching his index finger with the stranger's hand. He looked down and raised both eyebrows, looking back up at the guy. "What? It's a classic movie." Dimples proclaimed as his smirk turned into a full blown smile, showing both of his very deep dimples. Louis let out a soft chuckle.

"I'm not judging. Just didn't peg you for the type." Louis said as he took the scanner and scanned the barcode to the movie Love Actually, to tell the computer which movie was being taken out.

"The hopeless romantic type?" Dimples asked with his smile growing even bigger.

"The sappy type." Louis explained as he rang up the movie. "That will be five dollars, dimples."

"M' Names actually Harry." Dimples said as he handed Louis a 10 dollar bill. "What about yours?" Louis felt a small smile creep onto his face as he took the money and put it in the cash register, taking out a five to hand back.

"Louis." He said as he handed Dimp- Harry his change and movie.

Harry took the money and the movie and made his way to the door, calling over his shoulder, "Nice to meet you, Louis," before he walked out of the store, leaving Louis behind with a new blooming infatuation.

The rest of Louis' day was severely uneventful and he often found himself thinking about a certain curly haired, dimpled stranger in between his customers. He almost yelled for joy when he saw that it was nearing closing time. He quickly shut down the computer and scanner and turned off all the lights before hastily throwing his hoodie over his head and walking out of the store, locking the door behind him. Louis grumbled at the cold that was nipping at his ears and thought the same thing he's been thinking for the past 4 years, that he needed to get a car. But with the small paycheck he gets and the need for food to stay alive, a car really wasn't an option.
